WHEAT INSPECTION.
What the Warehouse Commit SSH ON
ers Say as to the Service at Duluth
and minneapolis.

What the Warehouse Commit SSH ON
ers Say as to the Service at Duluth
and minneapolis.
David Bows d Co., of New York, grain
dealers, who bought wheat in Minneapolis
and Duluth. wrote to Chief Grain Inspector
James complaining that while the wheat
bought in Dulnth corresponds to the state
grades, that purchased in Minneapolis does
not always do this. Mr. James referred
their letter to the board of railroad and
warehouse commissioners. The board re-
plies that it can find no occasion for any
ruling or order in the matter but thinks an
explanation regarding the situation at Min
neapolis is due to Messrs. bows IL Co., and
accordingly answers as follows:
The same rules for grading wheat applies
to both Minneapolis and Duluth. grading be-
ing done by the state authorities, and every
effort has been made to have the standard at
each place uniform, regular and equal. There
is, however, this difference between the two
points: Duluth enjoys
ONLY AN EXPORT TRADE.
All her elevators are public elevators
under the state law, and all the grain inspect
ed at that port goes into the public ware
houses, IS cleaned and stored, and in due
time inspected out under the same authority
as it was inspected in. This makes the sys-
TEN at Duluth entirely under state control,
the results being satisfactory to all the par
! ties concerned. Minneapolis, on the other
hand. is a large sample market many of the
elevators being private, and so not under
| state control. Most of the wheat brought
there goes directly to the mills, not passing
at all through any elevator. All the wheat
brought TO that point is subject to state in
| spection, and is first inspected upon arrival
| in the cars son track" There are no means
| of ascertaning what becomes of it after its
| inspection. Some of it goes into public
| elevator, and this wheat is cleaned; some
goes direct to the mills; some goes to private
warehouses, over which the state has no con-
troll, and some, perhaps, goes to market
at points beyond Minneapolis in the
| same cars which brought the grain to
that place. The inspection ION track" is an
''in-inspection," that is, inspected in. The
dirty wheat is inspected with the rest, and
the dockage upon the inspection cards shows
how much it must be cleaned in order to
bring it up to grade, and until it is so cleaned
| it is not entitled to the grade given it. If,
| therefore, Bows & Co. or anybody else buys
| VIII eat at that market they must take care
to ouy only the wheat that has passed through
a public elevator-wheat which has been IN
| spected in and cleaned and inspected out
again. In this way there will be uniformity
aud regularity in results, not only at Mime
apolis itself, but at both Minneapolis and
Duluth, both being operated under and ac-
cordiDg to common standard.

MIR. ELLIS REPLIES.
The school Inspector Takes Excep-
tiOns TO statements Made to the
Board of Education.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Some statements in your report of the
proceedings of the board of education de-
mand a reply from me. You quote that a
member of the board stated that did not
understand steam heating, intmatIng that [
had undertaken more that 1 could accom-
plish. wish to deny the insinuation in the
most unqualified manner, .andany'person who
is acquainted with the proceedings of the
board of education for the past two years.
during which time l have been a member
will support my statement. If my reputa-
ton during this time had not proved INV Gu
pability, why did the board of education at
the meeting last evening, on the
recommendation of the committee of
which Mr.. Postlethwaite is chairman
adopt my specifications for the steam heating
plants in the Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln
school buildings, in preference to others pre-
pared at the expense of the boardp
During my connection with the board of
education the other members have looked to
me for advice, and have very generally re-
ferreG matters of mechanical nature to me
for decision, as being the only member who
had made such subjects the business of his
life, and no one can say that there has been
any failure in any of the work which I have
recommended. The steam heating apparatus
in the Washington and high school buildings
is acknowledged to be equal to any in the
city,. 1 fail to see why any member
of the board should be impelled to
make any such insinuations, except
for the reason that L have opposed
the recent action of the board in letting a
contract at what / considered extravagant
prices and have thus antagonized certain
members who favored the action which has
been taken.
In regard to the statement made by mem
Der that l could not consistently criticise the
work in the Franklin school building as /

satisfactorily will say that delayed payment
of the account for some months, and for a
long time carried the voucher in my pocket,
being unwilling to audit the claim until GER
tain matters had been adjusted and until I
considered that the interests of the city were
protected, and finally signed the voucher Mt
the solicitation of some of the members who
now claim that l am barred from making

THE LAW SUSPENDED.
Railroad Commissioners allow the
Northern Pacific to Make IA Special
Rate 10 the Fergus Falls Will.

Northern Pacific to Make IA Special
Rate 10 the Fergus Falls Mill.
The board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners yesterday granted the appli-
cation of j. M. Hannaford, general traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific road
asking for permission to extend the special
rate of 1919 cents per 100 pounds for the
output of the paper mills at Fergus Falls.
The communication of Mr.. Hannaford was
first taken up on April z. 1t inclosed
communication from Averill, Carpenter &
Co., asking for continuance of the special
rates. Mr.. Hannaford explained that the
mill was erected before any rates were OBJ
tanned, and although the special rate of
1219 cents would hardly cover the actual
cost of handling the business, there are in
direct benefits in the way of trans
porting fuel which makes the rate
possible, and without the rate. the
mill would have to be closed. A special
rate has been given for the past two years
by the Northern Pacific of 12L cents which
was in force until the Pope bill was passed
last winter. The usual charges for a like
class of goods (Class b is 81 cents per 100.
The mill makes quite a good market for
straw-a big thing for the farmers-whch
olHeiW Woulu NC uedu loss. In the
order granting the application the board
writes:
This is undoubtedly the first instance liz
which an application of this nature has been
made to Il state railroad commission. The
powers OF railroad commission have been
heretofore invoked to so moderate the doings
of a railroad company as to make it practic-
able to undertake. or to continue an enter
prise which could not be safely undertaken
or was in danger of suppression by the ex-
actions of the same. Should we then hest
tate to exercise the discretion with which the
legislature saw fit to invest the commission
that it might relieve from hardships which
must necessarily follow?
The board is satisfied that this is proper
case for temporary order, so the sixth sec
ton of the PODe bill is SnSnandad

requiring the road to bridge its tracks across
Smelling and Prior avenues. Mr.. Clark
wanted to know what right the council had
to compel the road to build the bridges.
City Attorney Murray explained that it was
in accordance with the recent decision of
the supreme court in the Minneapolis cases.
MI. Clark said the road would build the
bridges if it was liable under the law, but
it wanted time to consider the question.
After some further discussion the officials
agreed to commence work on the Smelling
avenue bridge, and they were given thirty
days time on the order in the matter of the
Prior avenue bridge.
